The reconstruction era.

The years between 1865 and 1920 witnessed the beginning of a modern America poised to take its place upon the world stage. Great fortunes arose amidst tremendous poverty, and what many experienced as the liberation of a new industrial economy looked to others to be a constriction of deeply-held beliefs about the labor, independence, and freedom in a nation built upon agrarian and craft ideals. Trace the increasing organization of institutions in these years, paying attention to such potential examples as the federal government’s experiments during Reconstruction, the business innovations of the Gilded Age, the farmers’ revolt in Populism, Progressivism’s new vision of governance, and the struggle over constitutional rights in the period of Jim Crow and women’s suffrage.
